Quotation
The History of the Celtic People (1934 Edn.), argues that Fianna had nothing to do with the early military organisation of the Celts, and must have been levied in imitation of Roman military institutions. Hubert assigns to them the source of the ‘power which we shall see at work’ (Chap.: “The Ending of Celtic Britain and Ireland”; p.169). He is anxious to disproved theories of the Irish origin of Celtic traditions elsewhere in the British Isles and to demonstrate the mixed racial stock of ancient Ireland.
